So there is a line above free but below "a lot" of money where you feel the book needs to be read because of the investment? Sometimes I buy a lot of books for 50 cents each and I must confess to not getting to all of them, although unread books will stay on my shelf for awhile and I usually get around to at least glancing at them.
With enough time I would be expected to read every book, am I meant to also pay for every book?
Perhaps great literature cannot be written if the author is concerned with compensation, we just don't know.
